Controlled Radical Polymerization Reagents — gathers reagents for controlling radical polymerization, including catalysts and initiators for Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) as well as dithioester and trithiocarbonate chain transfer agents for Reversible Addition Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT). These reagents regulate the kinetics of polymer chain growth during the reaction.
Controlled Radical Polymerization Reagents are used by polymer researchers to synthesize polymers with narrow molecular weight distribution and block copolymers with controlled structure, including in biomaterial and biocompatible material research. RAFT agents such as trithiocarbonate and dithiobenzoate derivatives are selected according to the target monomer class, while ATRP ligands and initiators are used together with transition metal catalysts for controlled polymerization.

Match the R and Z group structures of the RAFT agent to the class of monomer being polymerized, and check the purity and stability of the reagent during storage before use. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
